Knit polos
Produksee manufactures knit polo shirts in Indonesia — short-sleeve styles with contrast tipped collars, striped jacquard bodies and button plackets. Collars are knitted separately and linked to the body, giving a flat, structured edge for export and domestic fashion brands.
The problem
A knit polo is where the factory's collar work is on public display. Tipping, striping, and placket alignment all have to land within a millimetre of each other on a piece the wearer sees in the mirror every time they put it on.
Construction
What we control on a polo
Collar tipping
The contrast stripes at collar and cuff have to register with each other across the whole garment. They are knitted in, not applied.
Placket squareness
Placket and collar meet at the most visible point on the garment. We measure the join on every size in the grade, not just the sample size.
Stripe matching
On a striped body, front and back and both sleeves must meet at the seam. Panel placement is set at the knitting stage, which is the only stage where it is free.
Collar stand
Knitted separately at a firmer tension so it stands rather than collapses, then linked to the body rather than sewn on.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Can you match a specific stripe width and colour placement?
Yes — send a physical reference where possible. Stripe proportion reads differently on screen and in yarn, and it is cheaper to correct at counter-sample than after bulk knitting.
Do you produce both men's and women's blocks?
Yes. The samples on this page include both. They are separate blocks, sampled separately.
Is a knitted collar more expensive than a woven one?
Per piece, usually yes — it is a separately knitted component that has to be linked. It is also the reason a knit polo reads as a knit polo rather than a t-shirt with a collar sewn on.
Frequently asked

Knit cardigans
A cardigan is judged at the button band. It carries the wearer's eye, it takes the most handling, and it is the first place a badly balanced knit shows itself — the band ripples, the fronts hang unevenly, and the garment looks cheap before anyone has read the label.
Sweaters & pullovers
An oversized sweater is not a fitted sweater cut larger. The drop shoulder moves the balance point off the shoulder seam, so the whole garment hangs from the neckline instead — and if the neck rib is knitted at the wrong tension, the body pulls the collar out of shape within a season.
Knit vests
A vest is mostly edge. Take the sleeves off a knitted garment and the armhole, the neckline and the front band become almost the whole thing — which is why a vest exposes bad finishing faster than any other knit in a range.
Knit tops
Pointelle and open-stitch fabrics are the hardest thing in a knitwear range to keep consistent. The holes are deliberate, which means every irregularity reads as a fault rather than as texture — and blocking, not knitting, is where they are won or lost.
Knit skirts
A knitted skirt has one job that a knitted top never has: it must not grow. Gravity works on a vertical panel all day, and a rib that recovers beautifully at the cuff of a sweater will let a skirt drop two centimetres by the afternoon.
Zip-up knit jackets
Putting a zip into a knitted garment is a structural problem, not a trim problem. A zip is rigid and the fabric around it is not, so unless the band is stabilised properly the front waves — and a waving zip is the single most common reason a knitted jacket gets rejected at inspection.
Custom & jacquard knitwear
In a jacquard, the pattern is not printed onto the garment — it is the garment. The colour changes are structural, which is why a jacquard cannot be corrected after knitting and why the swatch stage is where the money is actually spent.
